2 CPE The world is desperate for leaders. There are plenty of people willing to accept the perks and privileges of leadership, but are unwilling to accept the accompanying personal risk and responsibility. Ethical leadership is an enlightened philosophy that gives leadership sparkle. Ethical leadership embodies how a leader presents themselves to others.
This course identifies the five principles of ethical leadership and contrasts those principles against five behaviors of immoral and amoral leaders using real life examples. You will learn how to hone your own leadership style to embolden an ethical posture which will strengthen your ability to lead others and achieve more. You will also learn to identify the signs where your leadership style may be undermining your follower’s levels of motivation and commitment.
Learning Objectives
- Discover and discuss the role ethics plays in leadership.
- Identify principles that define ethical leadership from other forms of leadership.
- Identify amoral and immoral behaviors that undermine leadership.

This course has some good and important content, certainly shared through a political lens. It's easy to champion Fred Rogers (a true hero and leader). I would caution against vilifying certain groups or people that may not fall into a popular cultural narrative or agenda. I tend to really enjoy Blair's teachings, but this one is not a highlight. Still, I find value in critical thinking through the concepts shared.

Though the material in this course was well thought out and presented, I found it distasteful and unpatriotic to include a former president, not just as an example of an amoral/immoral leader, but also the answer to an exam question. Keep your politics out of my professional learning materials...

Definitely an example of how to be an unethical leader by forcing political views "as a teacher/leader" through not only the presentation but the test was demonstrated in this training (forced to pick an answer that demonstrated one person's opinion to pass a test). Very disappointed!!

This was the most politically motivated piece of crap course I have ever seen. In order to pass this course you must have an immoral, and amoral sense of beliefs and lead specifically on one side of the political spectrum. Remove this piece of crap asap

Blair and Jen, you both excelled in this presentation. I liked the opening phrase in the presentation "we are facilitators of ethical principles/behavior". You were too good to go through some invigorating live examples to elucidate the key points:).

This course was a disgrace to the CPA profession and to the United States of America. Very politically-leaning courses and questions and answers in CPE have absolutely no place in the CPA designation - no matter how left or right they lean

The course provided a great baseline for ethical leadership but also compared these principles to unethical leadership styles. The examples were relevant and the material was aligned to the learning objective.

A good course that is applicable for today's leaders. Our culture emphasis is on make the most money and be happy without regard to other people. This should change with managers being moral and ethical.

This appears to have been a presentation that was prepared for a different platform. There are some issues with how it transitioned to Illumeo.

Not great. The slides provided are not the one from the course. Also, the fact that there is a duo speaking is not really pleasant.

I dont think you needed to get political with your exam question. Especially since its opinion. It seemed a bit unethical.

Please keep politics out of learning material. Example: referencing Donald Trump as immoral, which is purely an opinion.

Seriously - Donald Trump? You can't keep opinion and woke politics out of even CPE? This is absolutely unacceptable.

Not a bad course but some questions were either badly worded or led to erroneous answers being selected for the exam

This was the worst course I have taken on Illumeo. It was political and biased. The slides were worthless.

Would have been better to have fewer slides and more content on each slide.
